 | Treo 650 in a reset loop Wednesday at 3:30 p.m my treo went into a reset loop. Would turn off and on then try to start the phone, then reset. This would continue till I did a warm reset. (take out battery, hold the up button while inserting the battery till the treo showed the network screen) I later did a hard reset after backing up my data. I also have BackupMan. But to no avail. It was still in a reset mode. I called my carrier, Alltel. They are sending me a new phone.  My old one was still under warranty.I don't know what caused it. I did download mvoice as a trial over a week ago and the trial ended a few days ago. I downloaded Diddlebug at the same time. I will keep you posted how the new treo works out. |

| Hi Medicineman. After you did a HR, the Treo was in loop even before you had any software reinstalled? Or did you just restore a previous backup sesion? I'm just saying... because if your problem was software, your new (congrats!) Treo will loop too. I certainly hope NOT. Keep us posted.

| Thanks for responding AlexFreire. After the Hard Reset, with no backup, the phone kept reseting. I left it that way for a while. Then decided to restore so I could use some of my applications. What can I say, I'm addicted to my Treo. I use several applications several times a day. I am having phone, email and web withdrawls.  |

| My new Treo came in the mail today. I put my battery in and NO RESET!  Then I backed up my data from my card and everything is working fine. Had to activate the phone. I am thrilled!  I'll let you know in approximately one week on how things have progressed.

| Woohoo... glad it worked out for you. It's werid the number of users that report failures like this. I wonder what bit of hardware failed inside your previous Treo... ~ Steph

|  I'm back, and my new phone is working out great. It hasn't reset once! I have a lot of third party applications too. I am so pleased. Just had to share. |

| I say the bootloader was corrupted or it was the disk-on-chip
